I always get a B Mobile data sim card when I go to Japan. No need to rely on free WiFi hotspots... About $40 if conversion is good, and you order online and they send the sim to either the airport where you arrive, or to your hotel.

Haha speaking of blood, I had a patient's blood spray up into my face today ... lucky I have a big plastic shield in front of my face lol.

Anyway, one of the places I stayed at during my stay - https://www.facebook.com/toco.jp?ref=profile
Definitely worth staying there for a bit if you're in Tokyo.

I agree, thanks for that post.

How about places in Osaka or Kyoto?

Not sure about Osaka/Kyoto, sorry. I haven't been there before.

Unless that return flight is 500 holy crap.

If you guys are interested in clubbing in Osaka, I found a spot called Pure Osaka, and you pay only about $30-40 depending what time you go in. They give you a glass at the door, and you just keep going up to the bar to get unlimited drinks all night!

It's on Saturdays, and the first night I landed in Japan in Osaka last year, got to the hotel about 9 pm, quick feed, went out and found this joint and ended up getting smashed that very first night!

Pretty sure that's the name of the club I went to in Shibuya! $40 cover charge for unlimited drinks. It was crazy ... I asked for a jaegerbomb and they gave me an entire can of red bull and something like 150mL of jaeger lol.

Finally started updating my thread on my trip in February so you can check back to that from time to time

Btw, for anyone who is intending on visiting Tokyo - this was one of the places I stayed at ... highly recommended. The hosts were really friendly and try to promote a relaxed and social atmosphere

When I was walking in Japan, I saw this car but didn't stop to see what it was exactly... Can anyone tell me what it is?
